People are supposed to tell their dentists about their joint replacements and might get antibiotics after procedures to avoid this. The body is a bit more likely to have infections go into the artificial knee as it is a foreign thing to their body. Usually, they get bombarded with antibiotics and the joint cleaned out but it can be a very lengthy healing process. Actually, any infection can get into an artificial joint.

She did tell her dentist and she also took antibiotics. After my hip replacement, my surgeon suggested that I NOT take antibiotics as the research said it didn't really make any difference.
 
Haven't heard any here this year. We did last year. Of course, it is cold enough that everything is shut up tight so they would have to be fairly close to be audible inside.

Yes, not liking the trend of illegal ones being so common. Wasn't much of a problem until COVID.

Actually, I think Ontario added Diwali to the allowed list for fireworks so they are legal here. Or are you referring to the type of fireworks being used as being illegal.

Location is a big thing. Here people need a permit. It's nothing to do with when, other than conditions. The when doesn't change things. It needs to be so far away from buildings, ie. most homes do not have enough space. It can't be a public park, etc.
 
Yes - lots of Diwali celebrations going on in my community. I don't mind actually - unless it's in the middle of the night & wakes me up!!
 
All of the NYE ones this past year were illegal, and I think some of that was ridiculous, the city wouldn't give permits as they thought it was encouraging gathering, fireworks were probably one of the safer activities to do COVID wise. No need to be close to others to watch. Then, some people were fairly responsible ie people in the immediate area were aware, there were some safety precautions, weather wise conditions were good. Then there were those who ended up with debris in neighbours yards, on their roof tops, etc. Not really safe at all.

Our lake this summer decided not to do Canada Day ones and did them another day. Some idiots set them off in a city park adjacent to a school. There was no safety considerations, no blocking off an area for those going by, it was windy and incredibly dry I'm surprised there wasn't a grass fire.

For Diwali I don't understand why the groups don't do it in conjunction with the residents associations (some areas of the city may, nothing going on in the immediate areas though), I'm sure they would give willing to give proper space to do it appropriately although expenses may go up as insurance may have additional criteria that the city doesn't.
 
Good morning! Happy Diwali to those celebrating! The holiday season has begin, so let us be in a festive mood, if possible! The coffee cart is ready, come and get it.

Our local bylaw differentiates between consumer fireworks, which are allowed on private property within the set date parameters, and display fireworks, which require a permit and are governed by various rules. So the Fanshawe Optimists annual show on Victoria Day has a permit, certified staff, and so on while I can buy a box of consumer fireworks the day before and let them off in my backyard with no permit needed.

And as far as letting them off late and waking people up, municipal noise bylaw would apply
 
Oh....so that's why we had fireworks in our city last night. Lots of people thought they heard gunshots! Our city is getting a little overrun by crime, so that was a first thought for too many people.
 
One of my team at work was up North (Sudbury) and said deer season was in full swing so I guess whether hearing shots is a bad thing depends on location (and species).

There is a difference here too, public parks can be used when being professionally done (which is ckearly not the case with what Isee happeningin parks this past year). They all need permits though which I think is good as it covers safety aspects.
